Greetings Café Critters

So - quick mini catch up before lunch...

I can't post pics when I'm on my phone but I'm sending you Gigantic hugs!!

Great to see you Impy but be better to have you join us more in due course

Consensus: More Impy Please
Best of luck w/ your class - learn lots - get that certificate - then come back to us please

Now I totally NEED to know!

Right? I love a good laugh and @Qky75 does not disappoint.

I know they are everywhere watching just waiting for their chance

They will come for you!

Now, you have to kiss me back because I am, too! Half-ish!

Lots of moochies yesterday - the Irish kind

We definitely need the Pink Ladies standing up for K!

This is starting to sound like the makings of a rumble - but with more pink

Wasted tea!

I would have said wasted cofffee, but that's me.

To each their own.

Cooler heads prevailed here with the Great Tea vs Coffee Debate

My dad used to crumble cornbread into a glass of milk. I won't eat wet bread so I thought it was disgusting but he loved it!

My husband loves chicken and dumplings
To me it’s just soggy bread

It’s not my favorite but my late wife loved it and if the dumpling was hard and not fluffy she loved it more. You sometimes do things out of love!

My dad did the cornbread and milk thing too, as dessert.

Noooooo to, soggy biscuits…. Ginger nuts are the best as they withstand the dunk

The Great Dunk or Dissolve Debate of 2025

Working on my sleep hygiene is my primary objective for this year. It's a work in progress.

Same - I don't always manage a full 7-9 on weeknights

Good evening here...
Springs a coming
Fresh baked goods tomorrow

I'd like to upgrade to baked goods
Sounds so much better than:


Welcome to Spring in the Midwest

FFS the day aint ending

Did it ever happen to any of you that even a lucrative overtime payment cant motivate you to do overtime?

Workload sucks

I broke the record for overtime at my last employer.
They didn't want to listen when I said the workflow between Marketing and Traffic was skewed and Traffic needed to be a team of 3 Inter-Departmental personnel and not just myself.
I heard they implemented all my suggestions - after I left.

I had a dream last night that I was playing @Qky75 in scrabble in St. Louis MO. He was really good at it and I am not. He gave me a layup so not to score too many points on me and changed “live” to lives”

Then I drove a couple hundred miles west to either Springfield or Joplin Missouri. There I was playing someone really good too. I didn’t know who his person was. They changed “lives” to “believes” somehow. I was amazed.

I have no idea what this means.

Now back to your regular programming!

Impressive!
No wonder you're tired - that's a lot of driving in one night.

The problem is my PCP does not seem to care even though the radiologist suggested on my MRI to do more scans in 6 months. So, I’m getting a new PCP who is more engaged!

Atta boy!! Good job being your own health advocate.
Hope you find a better match with your PCP!!

I’m gonna stay quiet and not let my inner juvenile respond to that

Then Ima stay quiet and not mention my extra kitties from 30 years ago.

And hexes!

What's the recipe for that?!?!?

 

[likes2watchU]

So far so good. I could use a push to get headed to the gym lol. How's your day so far? Your probably already hard at work

No idea who that is, but sounds like it fits the bill?

Don't do the goodnight girl.... he'll never leave

[Missk_2022]

Why does that push look like it's between cheeks?

Shat is funny

That that that

Someday I'm gonna have to learn your interleaving of conversational elements to create these great summaries.
All from the touch screen phone. Lol

*shuffles in with his coffee* good morning all ..... I'll think of something more witty or charming later. For now: *raises cup generally to the room...then Takes a sip*

I had a shit day at work. Waiting to go home so i can flash it out lol

Where my brain went:

Where Jessi likely went:

I wish the day ends soon and the night never, hugs back

Totally understand the sentiment.
Please use caution w/ the phrasing as the Universe is always listening.
I don't think any of us is quite ready for The Night That Never Ends

my boss ... take us out ...to a really great pancake place for breakfast before work.

Sounds yummy!
A few years ago our bosses made breakfast at work.
Lots said it was delicious.
No dedicated griddles for different foods so the cross-contamination meant I had to skip.
#FoodIntolerances IYKYK

The only food dunked in my cookie is a donut.

I would like a demonstration please

Nursing duty is coming along fine. Have helped w a couple of showers now but she hasn’t let me wash her hair yet. She gets her check up on Thursday, so I bet I get some beauty salon training manåna. Wonder if I can pass the test?

My two cents
Check water temp beforehand
Lots of suds
Two Words: Scalp Massage
After: towel dry and detangle
Ask if she uses a product for detangle
W or W/o product: large tooth comb and start at the ends & work up to the roots
Larger tangles? Hold them to dampen the pulling
You'll do just fine!

We're trying to instill some of that type of perspective into our children. It's a hard thing to teach when you don't live like that.
...Even when we've had 'tough times' there has always been plenty.
It appears they understand the value of an education and are taking that seriously. So, I think some of it sticking.

Ditto. I have a bit different understanding as the oldest child. I've also been sworn to secrecy about a few things over the years.

Gordon Setter, sometimes known as a Black and Tan. Spitfire, sassy, and lippy. Always talking back at you. A good girl, even though she's an idiot some days.

She sounds delightful!!
Garçon! An order of belly rubs for the GS Black and Tan over by the fire!

Everywhere we go, people assume my wife is my daughter and my kids are my grands. There is only a 6 year difference between us but she looks way younger than she is and I look like a sack of peanuts standing next to her.

I started getting the random gray hair at age 10.
Came in handy a few time at the liquor store decades ago. Otherwise has been alternately annoying or humorous depending on who was assumed to be my spouse, child, or grandchild.

I've been cutting back on hours

Sounds great in theory - I really hope it works in practice!! You are one Hard Workin' Momma!!

@Wonderer67 Work pressure?View attachment 2514946

Beautiful desk but not a fuckin chance!! Just nope!

I guess that depends on what you put it on, huh?

With my tendonitis? It's a pretty paperweight

As long as I had good internet I would live there.

Same! How else would I download my eBooks?

No idea who that is, but sounds like it fits the bill?

Jumpin' Jesus on a Jet Ski
This would send me to the gym for the peace and quiet alone. That guy is L-O-U-D!

Don't do the goodnight girl.... he'll never leave

I love your humor!!

Someday I'm gonna have to learn your interleaving of conversational elements to create these great summaries.

Confession: I use a desktop
I can barely read a thread on my phone - screen too small and eyes too weak

guess i sounded like that nanny from Game of thrones who used to tell stories about the long nights

 

[JessiQueVix]

Good morning everyone

 

[Mittering]

I posted it in editors forum. Should i delete it and repost it in story ideas?

I wouldn't delete anything. Post it again and then you have two threads to draw from. Just my two cents.

Edit: sorry that took awhile to reply. These past few weeks have been full. Like a diaper, on an elephant, eating castor oil, rancid castor oil.

Slightly tailor them?
Ends up cross posting but with a stronger Story Idea flavor in the one and Editors Wanted flavor in the other?

I mean - tell me the rules and I'll play your game??

Our cows are in dirt not asphalt

But what's the price of a pound of asphalt, if the cow is ten years old
